according to a forum poster, who heard it from honda australia, it
won't be coming here. it's manufactured in europe and the high AUD$
means it won't be profitable for honda to sell it in australia. :(
but... there is top quality content farm content stating otherwise so
let's just see what happens, okay? #optimism #contentfarmssuck

i feel disoriented. but i like it. i think. but why? do i like it ironically? or, do i like it sincerely because of its irony? does the artist intend to reveal the quality of the original song? or is that an unintended side-effect of his parody? how can you reveal something that clearly does not exist? is it just unavoidable association with bob dylan himself? or the arrangement and delivery? is this some final ultimate post-post-something deconstruction of music? then, is rebecca black an important work? i just don't know how i feel about this. beep, boop, fizz. does not compute. help. burr. pop.

background:

possibly the worst song ever made goes viral because it's so bad:

parody (tribute?, mindf**k?) in the style of bob dylan:

(on a side note, calling her the next justin bieber is quite an insult to bieber who is actually pretty good :)

Erin: "Hi Peter, could you tell me which physics engine Angy Birds uses?" Peter: "Box2D" Erin: "Great. Would you consider giving credit to Box2D in your game?" Peter: "Yes, of course" Erin: "Thank you! By the way, I am Erin Catto the creator of Box2D" Peter: "Great! I would like to talk to you after the session"

So I really tried to ask this in the nicest way possible and Peter was very friendly. Angry Birds is a great game and I have a lot of respect for Rovio.
